I was just out of control and I hate it when I have that no care attitude about eating.  Today will be a better day!  Hope you all have a great day!

BETTER LUCK TODAY, BUT I OHHHHHH SO KNOW WHAT U MEAN

I GET THOSE DAYS TOO, AND THEN I HATE MYSELF

HUGS, JACKI

I AM GOING TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE DAYS TODAY. I AM GOING OUT TO EAT. I HAVE NOT LEFT HOME .... EXCEPT WALKING TO THE GAS STATION. MY BOYFRIEND IS TAKING ME AND MY DAUGHTER OUT TO EAT TODAY SO I DON'T CARE! I AM GOING TO HIT UP BURGER KING UP.....I AM GOING TO HAVE A 1/2 OF A WHOPPER AND F.F. I THINK WE ALL DESERVE A DAY NOW AND THEN.

I've seen this in myself way too often. Why is it when I get mad at something or someone, I take it out on me...You still did really good on the protein. I did horrible in comparison. All cuz I was ticked at myself for putting on weight. It wasn't even my fault. I WANT to gain alittle weight. So why do I do this to myself? Self-Hatred? Maybe. But how can I love myself and want to be as healthy as I can and hate myself all at the same time. I'm a mental mess sometimes..

Here's what I ate yesterday:

oatmeal, tvp, fruit sauce, soy milk
coffee
24 oz container of water with flavoring
left over quesadilla (carne asada)
24 oz container of water with flavoring
16 oz container of diet snapple peach tea
1 oz cheese stick
1 chicken quesadilla
1 cup of hamburger helper hashed brown variety

no dessert but definitely not enough water either.

Near as I can figure my totals were:

Calories 2065
Protein: 115

See? not nearly enough protein for the calories I ate. I'm out of Frozen Yogurt or I'd have hit that yesterday too...I was so pissed at myself I just went to bed and slept.

In defense of the whole day I worked my ASS off with moving furniture and started out with a sinus headach but still.

Where are you getting that many calories?  Your day sure doesn't look calorie-packed to me!

I KNOW! Her calories are 400 less than mine.. Now my day...Yes sir! calorie packed but 1600 is pretty seriously good.

We all have those "bad" food days-the difference is that now we get right back on track instead of giving up for weeks or months at a time! Thanks everyone for your honesty-it really helps me so much to know that I'm not the only imperfect one! I love how we can all be real with each other and find support. Anyway, yesterday I was low calorie, but unfortunately also low in protein. I was so busy I didn't really have time for dinner. I should have pushed for another protein drink-I'll do better today.
Black tea
SF decaf suisse mocha "coffee"
2 americanos with half and half, 1 was decaf
1 protein drink-Champion whey stack
2 Eggface pumpkin souffles, 1/6th of recipe
1/2 c cottage cheese with 1 tsp low-sugar raspberry spread
1 cup low-carb hamburger-cabbage soup with 1 Tbl sour cream
Calories: 976
Carbs: 46
Protein: 86

Ok, so yesterday was fairly uneventful for me.  Standard disclaimer:  Maintaining DSer, 2+ years out.

B - bacon/egg/cheese on 1/2 croissant & lg. iced coffee w/cream & sugar from Dunkin Donuts
L - Trader Joe's Spinach & Mushroom quiche, 1 c. pineapple, 1 halloween cookie.
S - 1 halloween cookie & a big protein shake (2 scoops banana scream, 2 scoops UpCal D, 2 c. crushed ice, 1 c. half & half - all whizzed together in the blender)
D - MEXICAN!!  Chips with Salsa & guacamole, 2 fried beef chimichangas loaded with sour cream & guacamole.
S - yet another halloween cookie.  because they're here.  and yummy.
S - small bowl of doritos.  because I needed some salty to balance the sweet.  Hello, PMS.

I want one of those traiter joes around here but I don't think there is one.  I had a question,,, what is UpCal D?  Its hard not to beat yourself up when you thought you were doing something right and then something happens and you find out you are not as close to what you thougth you were.  (I don't know if that makes sense or not).  My scales are not moving down despite the watching and exersising so I feel like a failure.  I know I just have to say that things will be better tomorrow but it seems like they don't.  Now my hands are swollen and I feel like a big fat cow.  I am afraid to get on the scales and I have to poop and nothing will come out!  Hope that is honest enough for all of you!  O.k. I am in control....I am in control....breath...o.k. I am better.  You all have a great day and God bless, Penni

UpCal D is a powdered calcium citrate & vitamin D supplement that you can add to food/drinks to help get some more calcium in.  There was a big kerfuffle on the boards a couple of months ago, wherein people were saying that there wasn't really as much Calcium in UpCal D as they claimed on their label.  I take a lot of calcium anyway (1900 mg daily) so I throw the UpCal D in my protein shake(s) just to get some more.  I figure, if Vitalady's right and there isn't as much calcium as claimed, then I'm just getting a wee bit extra.

Wow, Penni, you said a mouthful!  Honestly, try not to overthink the scale.  Stress is not good for weight loss - of all the things I've learned over my diet history, I think that's the biggest.  Plan some good snacks into your day, later in the day.  I am usually hungriest from 4-0 pm, so I know I need to have some good snacks handy.  Thank god those damn cookies are out of the house now, because they were calling my name!
